Shipping Container Full of Wine Gets Ready in Hyattsville

If you’ve recently traveled along Route One in downtown Hyattsville, you may have noticed a big ol’ shipping container resting in the parking lot of the vacant-though-beautifully-colorful garage at 5334 Baltimore Ave (across from YES Organic Market). More recently, you may have noticed the container now has the letter “H” artfully emblazoned on its side. So, what’s the container’s story and why have I seduced you here with the draw of wine in a big ol’ box? Well, because makin’ wine is exactly what the magical container is fixin’ to do!

Glassblowing at DC GlassWorks and Sculpture Studio, Edmonston

At last year’s Hyattsville Arts & Ales Festival, I struck up a conversation with local glassblower Beth Hess at her Wunder Around booth, stocked full of colorful, beautiful pieces of blown glass. I was so curious about the glassblowing process that I kept asking Beth a bunch of questions like; how do these different colors appear and not bleed into each other? How are the shapes are made, etc. What is your sign? (Just to mix it up. 😉) All was going well until I noticed I was holding up the line, so we parted ways with so many questions left unanswered. I’ve been empty ever since, which is why I was elated when Beth reached out recently to let me know that DC GlassWorks and Sculpture Studio was having an open house. Glassblowing demonstrations and more opps for my questions-a-plenty? SO. THERE.
